The Australian Romance Readers Awards dinner last night was a wonderful night – beautiful venue, great food, fantastic company, smooth organisation – I had a fantastic time!
And to top it all, I came away with this:
A huge thank you to the ARRA members who voted for Dark Country, to the ARRA committee who organised the awards, the award sponsors, and to everyone who was there to share a special night with!
CONGRATULATIONS Bron!!!!! That’s a beautiful trophy- you must be floating right now!!! What a well deserved win. I just love that book. Yayyyyyy You!

Congratulations. You’re raising the bar for book three.
A beautiful statue for a talented author who wrote a fantastic book. Well done, Bronwyn. Looking forward to the next installment.
And crossing fingers you you’ll soon have a Rita Award from Romance Writers of America award to keep this one company.
Fantastic, Bron! I knew you could do it 🙂 So proud of you.

Thank you, so much, everyone – Karly, Becky, Helene, Tori, Eric, Valerie, Serena, Zosia, Susan, Azteclady, Sharon, Sally, Eleni, Belinda, Gavin & Coralie! – for your congratulations and enthusiasm for Dark Country!
Karly and Valerie – yes, it is a beautifully statuette, and it’s now sitting on a shelf in the living room 🙂
Sally, thanks for the full marks! The ARRA awards are voted on, rather than judged, so maybe you judged for the RWA’s Romantic Book of the Year? Finalists aren’t announced until next week for that one 🙂
Belinda, I had to laugh at your son’s comedy novelist excuse! He obviously has a sharp imagination and wit 🙂
